The Lord of Ashes

Not long after the charity auction on building a garbage planet ended, Jeremy Dodge invited Thain to a small banquet organized by himself in a private capacity.

The scale of this banquet was much smaller than the previous auction, and it was also well hidden. Jeremy did not invite many other friends.

But these "friends" have one thing in common, that is, many of them are creatures from the Shi'ak Empire with bird heads and human bodies.

Jeremy hopes that his friends can help him solve business problems in the Golet Province of the Shiak Empire.

In response to Jerami's request, all creatures in the Shi'ak Empire, including Thane, enthusiastically agreed.

As a large world civilization, the Shi'ak Empire likes to divide its star regions into provinces.

This may also be related to the system of the Shi'ak Empire. The helms of almost all provinces are held by imperial dukes or marquises. These nobles are loyal to the royal family and directly support the stable rule of the Shi'ak Empire.

Those invited by Jeremy were all members of the middle and small nobles, but their power should not be underestimated. 🄼

The part of the Dodge family business that Jeremy is responsible for is not a large-scale business operation. It is enough for these small and medium-sized noble family members to help.

During this period, Thain, whose pseudonym was "Price", helped him a lot.

With Thain's wisdom and judgment, it took almost no effort to open up the joints in the Shi'ak Empire for Jeramy.

Thain's identity can withstand scrutiny.

Coupled with the information he got from Pris's soul, even Pris's biological father, the Imperial Earl, standing in front of him, would not see that his son was a fake.

Jeremy's outstanding social skills and his vague power in the Shi'ak Empire made Jeramy value Thain even more.

After that, he frequently invited Thain to some private parties.

Some of Thain went and some didn't, but the relationship between the two of them has obviously improved.

…

Thirty years later, the Essence Sea Star Region in the central part of the Federation.

This is the real hinterland of the Federation. Arriving here means that Thane has crossed half of the Gallente Federation's mainland territory.

At this rate, Thane could reach the vicinity of the planet Cybertron in another twenty years.

What's even more commendable is that his route of advancement is still unorganized.

Just looking at Thane's footholds and movements in the Gallente Federation, no one would have thought that his final destination was the planet Cybertron.

At this time, in a luxurious spaceship, Thain was enjoying the service of Linda, the angel robot behind him, who was dialing the Piluo fruit for him, while chatting with Jeremy.

Thirty years is enough time for two people to become friends.

Thain's generosity and Jerami's investigation of his family's power in the Shi'ak Empire were the core factors that allowed the two to quickly become close friends.

Thirty years is not a long time for the Gallente Federation humans.

In this compulsory education, there are nearly 80 years of top-level scientific and technological civilization. Even ordinary humans at the lowest level have a lot of time and energy to waste.

However, according to Thane's investigation, the birth rate of humans in the Gallente Federation is not high.

It seems to be because the pressure of survival is too great.

Although Federation humans can become fertile as early as their teens, looking at the average lifespan of 800 years that ordinary humans in the Federation can achieve, the average number of births in their long lives is only five.

Of course, this kind of thing is all controllable.

After the war with the wizard civilization breaks out, if the Federation tilts its policies at will, it will allow the bottom population to explode by trillions, without having to worry about the problem of soldier resources.

In the process of carrying out the infiltration mission, Thain is also learning as much as possible about the Federation.

Understand the upper and lower layers of this technological civilization, as well as its overall operating rules.

It can be said that this is a common problem among magicians, or it can be said that he is trying to find the weaknesses of the Gallente Federation.

In fact, after having known the Gallente Federation for so many years, the wizarding civilization must have a large number of level 4 or above magicians, and their knowledge of the Gallente Federation is far greater than that of a newbie like Thane.

This time, Thain was called by Knight Klopp to perform an infiltration mission, and Thain was just one of them.

No matter where, there are powerful people from the wizarding world lurking in disguise.

I wonder if I can get into the top ranks of the federation?

Thinking of this, Thain shook his head.

If the Gallente Federation was so easily infiltrated to the top, it would no longer deserve to be called a top civilization.

Thain has not been discovered until now. Firstly, he acts cautiously. Secondly, he is covered by the world-class secret treasure Phaseless Mask. Thirdly, he has not yet touched the sensitive areas of the Federation.

For example, the federal government and the military, these two big thunders, Thain has not even touched yet.

In fact, the federal business world is also very deep, but Thain has not gone deep into it. Jeramy, who is close to him, is considered a "rich man" in the Gallente Federation, but his class is still far away. Woolen cloth.

Unless Thain directly comes into contact with a business giant of his grandfather's level, there is a risk of exposure. It's just Jerami's words... In the past few decades, Thain has only found a demigod next to Jeremy. Super powerful stealth robots are just providing protection.

This was just sent here twenty years ago.

In the ten years before that, the robots around Jeremy with the highest strength were only ordinary level three.

It shows that his respect in the Dodge family is also limited.

"Plass, what is your real purpose in coming to the Gallente Federation?" Jeramy suddenly asked while lying in the comfortable sun cabin.

Before Thain could answer, Jeremy said to himself: "In recent years, you have spent a lot of money to visit many star fields in the Federation, and you have also sold many antiques and antiques from the Shi'ak Empire. A rare product.”

"I don't believe that you came to our Gallente Federation really just to study and have fun." Jeremy looked at Thain with burning eyes.

Faced with the enthusiastic inquiry from this "good friend", Thain pondered for two seconds and replied: "You know, my cultivation talent is not very good, and there are several brothers in the family. It is almost impossible to inherit the title. possible."

"The future solution my father has arranged for me is the status of an honorary baron in the empire and the production of certain resources from a micro-plane."

"But I don't want to accept this arrangement. I think my future should be brighter!" Thane said excitedly, "So, I came to the Gallente Federation."

"Oh? Do you have any ideas?" Jeremy couldn't help but ask. His situation was not much more noble than Thain's status.

As Thain finished speaking, Jeremy actually felt a sense of sympathy for him.

Both of them want to do something big and have some resources at hand.

"What do you think of the military development field?" Thain turned to ask Jerami.
